What is UNIMEX 8K COPY CARTRIDGE ???

[XTClaus]

Hi!

 

There is an auction for a cardridge named "UNIMEX 8K COPY CARTRIDGE" on ebay.de

 

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...indexURL=0&rd=1

 

Can you tell me/us what I can use it for? Who has developed it and where was it sold and what for?

With special tool you can copy your cartridges on this. Then you have the same game 2 times. But only games with 8k or smaller files.

Its from Unimex.

 

Here an example from such a copie system:

Atari 2600: Game COPIER machine and cartridge

Only the card is nothing. I need the machine too. Does my brain get this right?

[Marc Oberhäuser]

Right.

[MattyXB]

If there is already a game on the cartridge you don't need the copiemachine. But it looks like that on this is nothing, because the seller has write nothing about this.

 

But sometimes there were sold cartrdiges where already was games on it.

 

I don't know if you can delete them with this copie machine?

By HomeVision it will work, but this is a complete diffrent thing. There you have a bigger cartridge where you can copy your game. And you can delete it and use it for an other game.

But I don't know if this work on these cartridges too?

To erease the cart you need to remove the label and put the EPROM under UV (German name for it:) light.

In English, too, we also call ultraviolet “UV” (though we pronounce it differently, of course!).
